An amazing story was told by Pete Thomas of Grind TV. He reported that a fisherman who was lost at sea and drifted for almost four months said that a shark saved his life.
The 41-year old Toakai Teitoi, a policeman from the Central Pacific Island of Kibati and his brother-in law, were supposed to make a short trip beginning May 27 from Kirbati capital of Tarawa to Teitoi's home on the island of Majana.

He asked the crew for a "smoke". That was the first thing. They also gave him food and water. Teitoi's rescuers continued their fishing for several days before bringing him to
